Dottie West - Sweet Thang lyrics

rate me

I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair

And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me

When she'll find that I'm not there

And if she catches her sweet thang slipping around

I know there'll be the debit to pay

Cause she'll come blowin' like a cyclone right through that door

And I hear exactly what she'll say

Well has anybody here see sweet thang I got a notion he'd be headed this way

Cause when my sweet thang's out tomocattin' around

Finds a sandbox like this to play

I wanna warn all you barroom roses if my sweet thang should have a bite

You'd better take my advice if you'll blink more than twice

You'd better have somethin' in your eyes

I gave my baby all my money on payday except a little she don't know that I got

Cause there's a little cute waitress down at the corner cafe

And she seems to like me quite a lot

We were sittin' in the back booth just a havin' a chair

And she believed in every word that I said

When that door blew open and mama walked in yellin' loud enough to wake the dead

And she said

Well has anybody here see sweet thang...
